Chapter 594: Flying Sand City
(
Of course, Ding Ling didn't want to be a great man, he just felt that after paying such a big sacrifice, if he couldn't meet the wishes of these people, then he would look down on him in his heart.
This is very simple human nature, and what kind of gentleman's way has nothing to do with the style of a great man.
The two of them chatted for a while, and Scar's love was a little better, and then he and Mu Shan returned to their respective camps to appease their subordinates, and then prepared to escort the captives back to the base camp.
There were not many prisoners in this battle, and not everyone had the courage to fight against the water, and when they found that the back road was cut off by the Min River, and then the wails of their comrades were heard everywhere on the water, the fighting will of the Wuxian warriors who rushed the fastest was broken in an instant. The only ones who can escape alive are a group of high-level demon beast knights.
In addition to the 60,000 or 70,000 people who died in the battle, more than 50,000 people chose to surrender in the end.
When Ding Ling returned to the camp, Mingyue had already completed the next stage of deployment, and the army would rest for the next two days, clean up the battlefield, gather the wounded, and cremate the dead before continuing to advance.
Next, Ding Ling and Mingyue went to various military camps and wounded barracks together, and they rotated all day long.
On the third day, the battlefield was finally cleared, and the remaining 200,000 troops and the 100,000 reservists set off at the same time towards the next destination, Flame Canyon.
The Flame Canyon, located on the west side of the Plains of Oblivion, is named because the soil and rocks of the entire canyon are all a fiery red, as if a canyon washed by magma, and there is no grass in it. If the horses' hooves run past, the entire canyon will raise a flaming cloud of dust. [59114883 My master is a school flower, my master is a school flower]591 My master is a school flower 594
A little to the east of the Flame Canyon is a small city established by the Wuxian Kingdom in the Forgotten Plains, the Flying Sand City. This small city is not large, it is about the same size as Ding Ling's Four Clan City, there are only more than 100,000 people in it, and most of these people are farmers who have come to reclaim the wasteland.
Because it is located on the front line, Feisha City also has a standing military force of about 8,000 men, who are on the one hand to prevent a surprise attack by the Nine Lebanese Coalition forces, and on the other hand, or more importantly, to defend against the undead who are wandering around the Forgotten Plains.
The marching route arranged by Mingyue was not to capture Flying Sand City at the first time, but to cut diagonally from the edge of Flying Sand City, and then stationed a little south between Flame Canyon and Flying Sand City.
With this arrangement, Jin can attack Flying Sand City and intercept the reinforcements coming from the Flame Canyon at the same time, and retreat can directly and calmly bypass the flanking attack of the Flying Sand City and the reinforcements coming from the Flame Canyon.
As for why she didn't capture Feisha City in one fell swoop, Mingyue's idea was simple......
Fighting and scheming, and surrendering without a fight is the highest art of war.
She also didn't want to face the boundless undead.
Two days later, the army arrived at its destination.
Here, Ding Ling saw Bai Ze, who had disappeared for many days.
When Bai Ze and Mingyue communicated with their divine senses, Mingyue's face, which had been calm, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and she showed her first smile after the battle.
"Bai Ze has brought back good news from Wuxian Kingdom, and the reinforcements from Wuxian Kingdom probably can't wait. These 300,000 people are their last old base. ”
Hearing this news, Ding Ling was also extremely happy: "Then now it only means the enemy army in this Flying Sand City?"
"Well, there are nearly 10,000 defenders in Flying Sand City itself, and with the routs that have fled and kept returning, there should be almost 60,000 or so now. Mingyue slowly walked to the lookout platform that had just been built, and she reached out and took out a telescope to look at Feisha City.
I saw that on the small city a few kilometers away, the city wall was densely covered with Wu Xian****, looking like a great enemy.
After watching it for a long time, Mingyue frowned and said, "Do they still want to resist stubbornly?" [59114883 My master is a school flower, my master is a school flower]591 My master is a school flower 594
Ding Ling shrugged, did he and the others guard the exit of this canyon, it was equivalent to choking the throat of this Flying Sand City. Turning this small city directly into an island on the Forgotten Plains, it has become a real Forgotten City......
As long as you have the patience to defend it, you don't have to fight by yourself when the time comes, and the enemy army will naturally run out of ammunition and food after a few months.
"It's a good idea, but it's a pity that we don't have that much time to deal with them......," Mingyue said lightly, she turned her head to look outside the camp, only to hear the sound of horses' hooves, and from the distant wasteland, several war horses carrying a few knights galloped towards the camp.
The four clans did not produce horses originally, and the mounts were just some goats used for transportation. However, there are a lot of horses in Wuxian ****, but these horses can't be called war horses, and they are pack horses because Wuxian has no cavalry, and the most powerful cavalry is not riding horses, but riding demon beasts.
Soon, the knights came to the outside of the camp, and after exchanging a few words with the guards, they turned over and dismounted, and then followed the guards to the conning tower.
Ding Ling saw that these people were the generals led by Jia Zhang.
"General Jia, long time no see. Ding Ling walked down the command platform and greeted Jia Zhang with a smile.
As the batches of grain urged by Zuo Ling were transported into Youxutian, Jia Zhang's captives also enjoyed rice and white flour like the residents of Youxutian, and they also tasted MSG for the first time in the prisoner of war camp, and even tasted apples, bananas, pears and other fruits that they had never heard of......
These vegetables brought in from modern society directly gave Jia Zhang and them a feeling of going from hell to heaven.
So after a few days, General Jia looks like he has gained a lot of weight.
Jia Zhang arched his hand to Ding Ling, and sighed heartily: "I heard that the great leader has won a great victory, and I have been sleepless all night, on the one hand, I sigh for my former comrades, and on the other hand, I also sigh for the great leader's benevolent and righteous teacher......
Ding Ling smiled, Jia Zhang really could speak, he made it clear that he was here to be a lobbyist, he had surrendered and rebelled, and if it was ugly, he was a "witch traitor", but it made people not have the slightest contempt for him.
After a few words of greeting, Ding Ling pointed to Feisha City in the distance and said in a deep voice: "General Jia, there are still 50,000 defeated troops in this Feisha City, although it is easy for our army to take it, but ...... I really don't want to kill again. ”
Jia Zhang nodded with a smile: "The big leader is merciful." ”
Ding Ling shook his head: "It's a bit false to say that there is mercy, but I don't want to see another big war." ”
Jia Zhang nodded and smiled: "The big leader is really temperamental. ”
Ding Ling puffed up: "General Jia, don't slap me on the back, anyway, our demands are very simple, surrender, reorganization, no accountability, no torture of prisoners, no slaughter of the city...... Do nothing!"
